"Imagine migration" - the migration process and its destination Europe in the eyes of Tanzanian students

Abstract

Only a small fraction of the emigration of Tanzania heads towards Europe, but the wish to migrate there permanently or temporarily is quite popular among Tanzanians. This wish stems from an image of Europe that convinces the potential migrants that it would be sensible to undergo a migration process in order to achieve a higher social status. The images of Europe and the migration process derive from and are perpetuated by information from various sources, some of which the potential migrants are aware, like mass media, and other sources of which they are unconscious. The latter include stereotypes and values that are transmitted to them by their socialization and social environment.
